[lojban] Re: Experiments in Sapir Whorf

I suppose my question remains.  These sorts of coincidences or parallels are always with us and have a variety of explanations, most having little to do with language and thought on any deep level.  SWH is about deep level grammatical categories and ontology, not about vocabulary tricks.  (It is still a crock, of course, but at least it is an interesting crock).

For some reason, Michael's e-mails occasionally get mangled by some piece of
e-mail software between him and us.  If you look at the raw source of the
message, you'll see that it should have been "New experiments in Sapir Whorf,
mentioined in Newsweek -- http://wwwords.org/?SWHE        --gejyspa".  I have
no idea why this happens, but so far it has happened to him at least eight
times and to ScottL, Jon Top Hat Jones, and lojbab once each.
